Knowledge is the set of information, skills, and mental processes an individual acquires throughout life.
It involves not only accumulating data, but also understanding and being able to apply information in different contexts.

Subject (knowing subject)
- The person or entity that performs the cognitive operation (the one who knows).
Object
- What is known (or sought to be known); the content of knowledge (concepts, facts, or learnable things).
Representation
- How the subject perceives and conceptualizes the object (mental images, symbols, or other representational forms).
Cognitive operation
- The mental processes used by the subject to know the object, such as perception, memory, reasoning, and other enabling processes.

Empirical knowledge
- Obtained through experience and observation.
- Based on direct interaction with the environment.
Rational knowledge
- Acquired through mental processes like deduction and induction.
